" 1973 307Q hard to start. Will finally start after holding throttle half way open, revs at 3000 rpms then dies. Will not idle. I changed fuel filter but no change. This first started while out on water but got home on other engine. Boat is a 1973 Express Bridge with twin 307Q&#39;s. Any help or direction on where to start would be appreciated. "

" Carl,
What type of ignition system do you have?
Points or electronic? I&#39;d start with checking inside the distributor.

Points Eddie. My first thought was that it could be ignition related. Thanks for the suggestion.
